Rummaging in the Basement
It's the time of year my dearest likes to go rummaging in the basement. Basement? What's that? Indeed, many houses in the U.S. don't have such a thing. That's in part because the water table is so close to the surface in some areas and in another part because it would actually require some excavation beyond superficially scraping the surface to build a new abode, adding untold costs to the structure.- Thursday, January 15, 2015
